the presidential palace this for the first time now in a week of turmoil and more than fifty people were injured and at least one person killed when thousands of demonstrators calling for president morsi as resignation clashed with police and protesters attacked the palace with firebombs on stones by security forces responded with tear gas and water cannon we'll be touching base hopefully in the near future we're trying to get a line with reporter bell true or she is standing by for us to in cairo though for the meantime though we do have more information on the story with activists and journalists who can't chandan he says are developments in egypt show absolutely that no one is in control anymore egypt has been totally destabilized and remember the egyptian government is waiting for what the egyptians called the loan from sunday look there's a protest there's a popular protest song about the world bank i.m.f. loan to egypt and all the western newspapers and analysts are saying well egypt's not going to get that loan if this is the destabilisation that is visiting of the

country but the thing is what who can control things in egypt now a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab sting for nato has been the fear has gone but perhaps the fear has gone by along with the fear so has any sense of security and nation building and state building so really anyone control what's going on and this is this is rooted partly as well because of the trial against those who accused of being guilty author of the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also openly said that nor can control anything in egypt are currently. well we've managed to pick up the connection with reporter bill true who's standing by in cairo now joining us live here on our team to give us some more details on what is certainly a very fluid situation but it's good to see you so quickly just how bad is the violence become in central cairo only overnight so far bring us up to date if you were. battles raging here at the presidential palace and in

the capital. really very fierce battles continue between protesters and security forces i personally witnessed a lot of police brutality there's been a criticism of the place in the ministry of interior off the fish was broadcast over a protester. beaten and trying to cross the tarmac i saw this with my own eyes it just but i this balcony the man who did not preach or any resistance or any threats towards the police had his trousers by his ankles was dragged face down and then a hit with truncheons before being taken off in a vehicle and later i also saw police come down an employee of a restaurant just off the front line the man was trying to get home he said before the police officer armed with bird shot to shot him he fell to the ground a mistake taken by an ambulance this comes off to protest is three moneths office

on the promise yesterday after which the security forces have reclines with the excessive use of take asked many people are condemning the police this morning saying this is another example of all police becoming just making security forces one of the key demands of the revolution something the president must address certainly below some gruesome incidents on the overnight from friday night into the wee hours of saturday morning as you were describing what we can see behind you go on a saturday what looks like a fairly normal day in the capital but it doesn't usually take much so far off some sort of protest certainly the iconic to rear square what are we expecting for the weekend now perhaps things are calming down. we have a conscious sort of a big. that around five am this morning i was here all night watching it and there are still people on to hurry square and protest plans in the future opposition forces are not backing down there has been calls from both sides for dialogue the president said and so awesome dialogue with the opposition forces ahmed el baradei one of the leader of an observation front said he would engage in dialogue on the

condition and that would be the day the government would be to resign and national salvation government would take over and the constitution would be revoked the president himself has said he will not listen to these said preconditions we don't see this you see this kind of happening any time in the future so we expect the violence in the streets the protests across the country in the coming weeks. before the vote true that live in cairo thank you very much for joining us here on. what is a good to have you with us here at washington's attempts to corner iran with sanctions against its oil industry may have actually been undermined by the u.s. itself the pentagon has admitted it cannot verify where exactly the u.s. put just over a billion dollars worth of fuel for its operations in afghanistan in recent years the story now if you want to use a guy in a truck. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s.

officials the special inspector general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it probably did come from the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own sanctions thereby letting us taxpayer dollars go to remain coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s. companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up

thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have it rains oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the arabian currency but continuous robust the van from its top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allowed the way in to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying there prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and katori so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system. so many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail

than anything else i was regards to iran blackmail is essentially what the us calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only ran hostage to sanctions but the whole world which is of course creating more cash and . he's got a major kind reporting there and in the meantime a jamal from the national iranian american council he said that washington is so addicted to punishing iran it's ultimately forgotten why it's doing it in the first place what we need to remember is that the same sions are supposed to be. protecting u.s. national security interests the problem is that we have lost sight of what those sanctions are supposed to achieve. have become sort of interest to themselves we've lost sight of the fact that sanctions are supposed to be sort of a tactical form of getting leverage over iran that is then used at the negotiating table to try to carve out a deal to try to you know have something to offer and give and take and they become

a strategic objective unto themselves if you look at the last ten years of. u.s. policy on iran we haven't actually achieved the whole lot we've done a lot of things in terms of we can in iran's economy and sort of ratcheting up the pressure but iran centrifuges are still still spinning we're on the precipice of a war and now with afghanistan we're facing these really tough questions about can we continue to be enemies with iran and not engaging with iran while we're trying to leave afghanistan in some sort of stable fashion. now the sanctions against iran of the country's leader mahmoud ahmadinejad certainly inspiring our website cartoonist you can see right here but a talent right there you can check out his latest sketches at r.t. dot com find him though in the online exclusive section.

that's the message. to persuade them not to move. to break away from the policies of attracting immigrants tony blair. britain. as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it

wrong in the past the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long john in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania i'm from garia the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people used to use that sort of as quite farcical the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians them for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to

britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking at the same time but quite scathing about the country westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. he's a political right that will remain here is hitting back by a tempting brit to come over the daily newspaper has now launched his own campaign to show how good life in romania really is i like that one there and also have a look at this they say that half of the women there look like kate middleton and

the other half look like sister apparently also they're saying in romania that draft beer is less expensive than bottled water in england also they serve more groups than pies sausage fish and chips so ultimately beer that's cheaper than water here we have air traffic controllers have seen snow before they were other unimpressed we know it's nose in the lid and people tend to panic after just about half an inch of the stuff lies down so we've got a cheap beer in our main you've got a beautiful woman like milton as well and of course the remainder is also known for its beautiful black sea beaches like neighbor in bulgaria do you need any more incentive to go i think not we can see more of these rather entertaining posters on our website or c dot com i'll be back with more news after a short break. here the reindeer is interesting for the herders and when it suffers people do their

best to help. but the distances are. and the roads are. predictable. need be on time. well good. science technology innovation all the latest developments from around russia we've got the future covered.

thanks so much for joining us here on this saturday i'm rule research on r.t. the u.n. anti genocide and voice says he's deeply concerned by reports of ethnic reprisal attacks on atrocities by french backed government troops in mali and the warning came as french president francois hollande visits mali if it is just touched down at the moment he's there those who are ultimately hail the success of the intervention against islamist rebels there and where there are fears that sectarian violence could now escalate strasberg based journalist an expert on france robert harness things are lions visit is purely political posturing he may regard this is a window of opportunity to present this is a great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like

let's be honest but it sees opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there now british troops coming in there talking about eight thousand african troops it's not going to be further out i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerian front you know too closely because algeria and france as you know have a long history with syria bitterness civil war i think this may well be the last chance only and has to claim a victory before it all becomes obviously an allied operation and i think that's probably the main reason. an r.t. dot com of the moment or certainly some a chilling stories from caught up in the french led conflict against islamists one family told r.t. how they were ultimately unable to bury their killed relative for days during the intervention or you can find this and certainly other reports from the ground by logging on to our website.

this is our now the western approach to foreign conflicts allows the justification of terrorism to change regimes just one accusation of forward by russia's foreign minister a major international security forum in the german city of new york all of our joins us live from there to give us the latest on the speeches made by certain several i suppose a major representatives of the world's leading world's leading powers arpita good to see you there were sort of put off by using some very strong words in his description of ultimately what divides russia and western nations what do you have for us. well the underlying theme of so to be

a lot of rope speech was if you cheat unity with foreign partners furthering discussion and working together in the future however it was certainly not all sweetness and light from the russian foreign minister he said this russia had some serious questions to put to its western partners concerning those western partners actions in hot spots around the world particularly north africa and the middle east one of those questions and it was one of the one of many times that so you lavrov either alluded to or mentioned directly the conflict in syria that he said there how can the west in the west in goal of regime change justify standing by turning a blind eye to acts of terrorism now he also went on to try and ask the question of who decides which state as a candidate for regime change it seems that some are wary some aren't looking at

the ongoing situation in syria where it's been deemed that bashar al assad must step aside by foreign powers not once again reiterated today by the united states vice president joe biden in his address here in munich where is some states aren't considered candidates thinking more here about the gulf monarchies where we've also seen pro. tests in public uprising there secular for all of those said that there was a huge to work together with all partners around the world and it was only through further discussion with all sides that they could bring about peace to the conflicts they go on and he did say that if some of russia's foreign partners had kept at promises to deal with all sides in the syrian conflict then we would have perhaps a very different situation in syria right now and he wrapped up really by saying an international intervention was a. well a difficult to put into place it was

a serious tool to use perhaps it could result in a short term solution you may think that the long term realities for countries that are the subject of international invention could be mustered much worse not just for those countries but for the region at large where they're involved. in munich after monitoring the international security summit thank you very much. for now washington says it's still not clear who's responsible for a suicide bomb attack on its embassy in the turkish capital reports suggested the blast that killed a security guard would carried out by a far left the group opposed to u.s. influence on turkish foreign policy. the executive intelligence review magazine he says this attacked. was provoked. environment that's been created and the amount of dangerous individuals that are spreading into this whole area from syria and turkey and back and forth that i've been on then supported in funded

by obama in other countries of the west trace of the cager for all kinds of i to view these individuals to be activity and you don't have to tell this per person to do this you just create the right environment provide the ammunition and the sons and certain idiology to take over so you have a well armed well prepared trained there is on the border originally with turkey and syria probably now inside turkey and therefore easily potential for a violent terrorist action needed against the united states and we're right now putting ourselves in a very very bad position that allowing this to happen to the u.s. government officials and facilities. just in time for the on sea world update now let's get into it with some other global news for you improve this hour official headquarters of mexico state oil company pemex believe that a blast of the thirty three lives was an accident or rescue has ended the search

for anyone trapped under rubble after almost twenty four hours and more than one hundred twenty one people were injured exactly what caused the explosion still is unknown. and a standoff between the alabama police and a man holding a five year old boy hostage continues for a fourth day as negotiators try to free the youngster of the alleged kidnapper sixty five year old retired trucker took the boy from a school bus after a shooting the driver who tried to stop him the child who has no known link to the captor is now being held in an underground bunker. seventy years ago the soviet union finally claimed victory installing grad one of the most devastating battles in history after two hundred days the red army beat the germans and changed the direction of the entire second world war on his time barking reports from the now. rating in modern day volgograd is to mark the end of

that terrible battle seventy years ago with a parade by troops the laying of wreaths from various delegations and the assembled crowds here remembering all those people that died there as many as two million the top estimates say there's also a little bit of control to see surrounding the names stalin grabbed the city is now called volgograd. but the city administration say that they want on certain special days to once again refer to it by its old name stalingrad which is a controversial decision given its connection to that controversial figure stalin himself but as for this parade today this commemorative events it will forever have the connection the word stalingrad not with this place but with what happened here. seventy years ago the nazi war machine failed at stalingrad. here

a reconstruction of the german surrender and dre is playing the part of fiji qualis promoted the day before to field marshal by hitler in a bid to stop him capitulating it bodes well when paul is realized that hitler wanted him to commit suicide he said he wouldn't give him such pleasure and he chose to live. for nazi germany this military disaster was the moment hitler's hubris really caught up with him for the soviet union it was at last a decisive victory over the invaders the ravitch so much of the country this basement of stalin grads the largest department store had become palaces last headquarters soviet officers entered to find it packed with wounded starving and freezing german soldiers this is what had become of what had started out as the largest army the world had ever seen. divert markets six army had surged up to the city in the summer of one nine hundred forty two hitler wanted to clear the way to

the oil of the caucasus but stalin grad but first a sideshow became an object of obsession for both him and stalin fyodor fort for his very life battling house to house as the germans and their allies took ninety percent of the city but the question that i'm throwing red was how the ball there was a re were firing and when we went to get a water from it it was water and blood mixed. in the vendor soviet commander of sprung a huge trap cutting german forces off from their supply lines surrounding them inside the frozen city by the end of january it was all but over the city was a ruin only the few biggest buildings remained standing. she was bogus but you know i'm still in harbor far people it was very important because finally we stopped retreating our offices in general started to learn how to win a stunning grant as many as two million people died in the battle their bodies are

still being discovered today but although the red army and the soviet people didn't know it yet they had reached a turning point in the bloodiest war in human history tom barton r.t. r f r more on the battle of first on the ground you can go to the world war two section on our website their war witnesses and veterans share their stories on the good the bad and the ugly plus you can learn more about the key battles and figures of that time. bottom back in about a half an hour's time with more international news though for now it's time to get chilly and we take a look at the tough daily lives of those who live in one of the coldest regions on the planet this is a scene. you

know i can kind of sort of understand the mindset of an evil dictator i have trouble understanding what is going on or maybe not going on in the minds of the terrified cogs who believe all the propaganda give up all their rights for the losing of safety to coach jerry seinfeld who are these people well maybe some of them may be working at your local school braindead bureaucracy zombies at a pennsylvania school suspended a kindergartner note kindergartner as a terrorist threat because she threatened to shoot another student with a gun that shoots soap bubbles i guess this was all a mix up because the girl she wanted to shoot didn't understand that it was in reference to bubbles and not bullets children in kindergarten can often misunderstand things but the administration of the school seems to be no smarter than six year olds immediately going into total panic mode guess what this is

hardly the first time that something like this has happened remember the kid who pointed a piece of chicken at a teacher and said bang the thing is that the real terrorism of the event is that the mental sleeves of fear propaganda that work at these schools are raising a generation of children to be just like them somebody shoot me with a bubble gun just my opinion. the republic of the acute here here lies the events and special nomad camp of how. it is situated four thousand four hundred kilometers from moscow and two thousand kilometers from alaska. yes yes come here. what's wrong with him. we will go up and take a look but his hoop is also fallen because.
